What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead brand and campaign work that connects product, marketing, and culture—turning complex ideas into distinctive, high-quality creative across digital and physical touchpoints.

I’ve spent 20+ years creating brand systems, marketing campaigns, and digital experiences for companies including Nike, Google, Pepsi, Netflix, GoDaddy, CMT, and Land id. My work spans concept through final production across paid social, landing pages, email, print, broadcast, and product environments.

I bring art direction, brand identity, visual storytelling, typography, and high-end photo retouching together to make complex products and ideas feel compelling and human. I’ve also built an outdoor lifestyle brand from scratch, leading product design, photography, e-commerce, social, and marketing.
